About The honorable Dale H. harris hall of Fame Award

In recognition of CASA's 20th anniversary and to honor The Honorable Dale H. Harris, who initiated the establishment of the CASA program, CASA of Central VA established the Honorable Dale H. Harris Volunteer Hall of Fame. The first twelve volunteers were inducted at CASA's 20th Anniversary Celebration on March 19, 2010.

The Hall of Fame was intended to recognize exemplary volunteers - board members as well as CASA volunteers - who had made significant contributions to the organization and to achieving positive outcomes for abused and neglected children. Each inductee is presented with an engraved, clear acrylic award; and his or her name is engraved on a perpetual plaque, which is displayed in CASA’s Central Office.

In order to be inducted, volunteers must meet the following selection criteria:

• Must have served as a CASA volunteer or on CASA's Board of Directors for a minimum of three years.

• Must have demonstrated exemplary services as a volunteer, often going above and beyond the duties outlined in the job description.

• Must have made a measurable impact to improve the organization or the life of an abused and neglected child.

• Has received a written recommendation from a staff member or other volunteer familiar with the nominee's contributions.

About the Blair Moseley community Excellence Award

This award was established in 2017 in memory of former CASA board member, Blair Moseley. The award honors the legacy Blair left to CASA of Central Virginia. With a clear vision of the future and the need to secure funding and ensure sustainability, Blair helped to establish the Heart and Sole Shoe Market.

Through her connections in the shoe industry and with Consolidated Shoe Company, the first shoe sale was held in the spring of 1999 and brought in $6,000. The event continued to grow and one year brought in a record-setting $86,000. Although the event was retired in 2022, it will remain Blair’s legacy for CASA. We are grateful for Blair's vision and for Consolidated Shoe Company's support through the years, which raised nearly $1 million for our mission.

Each year, this award is given to the companies and organizations that have gone above and beyond to support our mission and assist in efforts toward long-term financial sustainability for our program.

About the Philanthropist of the Year Award

This award was established in 2017 to honor an individual donor who has made a significant investment in the long-term financial sustainability of our program.

About the outstanding new advocate Award

This award goes to the volunteers who were recently inducted and who have gone above and beyond in their role to advocate for children. Each advocate manager nominates one or more volunteers annually.

ABOUT THE SERVICE AWARD

The President's Council on Service and Civic Participation (the Council) was established in 2003 to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers are making in our communities and encourage more people to serve. The Council created the President's Volunteer Service Award program as a way to thank and honor Americans who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service.

Recognizing and honoring volunteers sets a standard for service, encourages a sustained commitment to civic participation, and inspires others to make service a central part of their lives. The President's Volunteer Service Award recognizes individuals, families, and groups that have achieved a certain standard - measured by the number of hours of service over a 12-month period or cumulative hours earned over the course of a lifetime.
